Originally posted by Ed Hurst itshimitis - you are making me homesick. Family holidays in the western highlands (usually based in Oban); five years of university in Glasgow; cycling and Munro-bagging for weeks on end. I miss it all!
I presume you went to The Kings House?
I spent last night in Oban. Regent Hotel has seen better days could be a real proper luxury boutique hotel but seems firmly set with the coach trip/turkey and tinsel set up.
I stayed at Bridge of Orchy Hotel. Kings House is shut for refurbishment. I've wild camped there before...
Anyway some from today - have just driven the 550 miles home from Oban.
All with the Z
28 - 45: Loch Creran where my oysters came from last night:
45 - 85 - Could have done this one tighter and with a slower shutter speed, but was playing it safe. Oban's little airport is very accessible...shot this over a chest high gate.
Kilchurn Castle and Loch Awe while on my way back home...picked the perfect time. Parked in Loch Awe station car park and crossed the other side of the tracks over the bridge just as the sun shone through a gap in the clouds, very fortuitous...
FA 80 - 160
and a pano with the 80 - 160 - pity the loch was being disturbed by a boat at the time...just got this one in as the sun was disappearing...
